I would say more nervous than excited. I've never had surgery before. My main issues are knee and foot pain, which are manageable but I don't want them to get worse. So I expect my quality of life will get a little worse immediately after the surgery before it gets better. I was pretty bummed out about having to start the pre-op diet, but now I'm halfway through it and my mood is getting better. Plus it has helped me lose a couple more pounds. I guess I have been so focused on getting ready for surgery that I haven't spent as much time thinking about how great things could be a few months from now!

How about you?

I'm 1/2 through my preop & slipped up by eating taco salad & oh my God I'm sick haha. I'm nervous but I have had 5 major surgeries so I'm kinda like cool, come at me bro. Lmao

I'm just ready for a change. To be healthy & use this as a tool as it's meant. To spend a better quality of life with my son <3

That is my day too! First surgery as well so that freaks me out even more I think than the sleeve right now. The pre op is blah I think the only way I have been like 95% compliant and 100% these last days is because focused on Tuesday.

Made it through the first night. My surgery was at 4:00pm and I walked around the floor around 10pm. Some pain but it's manageable. Looking forward to having my family visit today. And drinking water... Best thing I brought to the hospital was ear plugs. How is everyone else doing?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
